Mureed

A mureed is a person who follows and seeks guidance from a spiritual teacher or guide, often within a Sufi tradition. The term reflects a deep commitment to spiritual growth, learning, and devotion under the mentorship of a spiritual master or sheikh. The mureed’s journey involves devotion, practicing teachings, and striving for inner purity and closeness to the divine. This relationship is based on trust, discipline, and a shared goal of spiritual enlightenment, with the mureed actively engaging in practices and seeking wisdom under the guidance of their mentor.
